  1. A question for euro based members, is €200 a good price for a new pair of Red Wing 8890 in Charcoal. There's a shop where I live has them on sale, I didn't check sizes or anything, just thought I ask on here first to see if it's a good deal. Also, I take it they're a good boot althought I've never been totally convinced with those white soles but I have a feeling once they're broken in they would grow on me.

     

    Its a good price if 8890 is the style you're looking for.

     

    You will probably find some moc toe styles for less than 150€ at for example Caliroots which seems to have RWs on sale every year. I would take a look a it when the winter sale begins in a few days.

  2. LN-CC are pleased to offer an extra 20% off our current reductions on all Autumn / Winter '11 sale stock. To claim this further discount, just enter the code: JAN20 at checkout.

    pisses me off a bit since i still haven't received my jeans that i ordered more than a week ago and they still have my size...

  3. Another pair of Thai Levi's 501xx, still, I wouldn't say it's fake, it's a repro, it's not copying any specific model of Levi's. The leather patch and red tab are terrible but the denim is really nice. I also like the linen pocket bags. I don't know for sure if these are made in Thailand.

  4. ^Don't really know much about weaving but you're probably right. The other pairs were the classic red line selvage. Most probably the same denim, from some big factory where they still use shuttle looms. However the dyeing was done differently on different "brands". Some of them smelled awful, like bad paint...

  5. Took some pics in a countryside market in Thailand. These jeans are all selvage and raw. They cost 250-300 THB a pair (8-10 USD?). This is not a new thing, they have been around for years. It's hard to find western sizes (lenghts).

    This pair had a funky wide selvage:

  6. careful for American / European tourists, they charge the price high like around 700 bath or more..

    Sometimes you need to bargain, but luckily not so much in Thailand than for example in China.

    In this Sukhumvit 71 intersection that mentioned the price is fixed and there's a big sign with the price.

  7. Denim shopping is a must!!

    I've been there many times. You should visit Jatujak Weekend Market for used & raw thai denim.

    Also in the intersection of Sukhumvit 71 in the evening there's raw selvage repros (edwin, levi's) for 350THB (12 usd?).

    There's definitely a strong denim culture in Thailand. They buy raw, wear them and sell forward for a higher prize! But of course, majority is locally made. until the couple of last years there were no japanese repros available and I'm not sure if LVC is even now.

  8. Hi everyone, first post here. Does anybody know when the next LVC collection is coming out? Looking for a pair of 501 1944's but they seem to be sold out everywhere. If somebody could point me to where to cop them in UK/EU I'd appreciate that a lot.. Thanks.
